to continue providing my expertise, sharing my knowledge and staying active in the industry so I can further my contributions in shaping the industry and moving our company forward.” And of course, David said you can’t just walk away from a company where you dedicated almost 40 years of your life. “I’ve spent most of my adult life with this organization, and I love and have a deep connection with the members we serve, our customers and our staff,” Zanze said. “I am always thinking of new ideas and ways to stay innovative, and I want to keep sharing my ideas on how we can continue to stay successful in the marketplace.” When David isn’t spending his time consulting, he’ll be enjoying his partial retirement in ultimate style. David is an active pilot and plans to continue hanging out several thousand feet above the ground flying his airplanes and gliders. And as an avid guitar player for most of his life, David hopes to sharpen his guitar skills and expand on his musicality.
But there’s no doubt his constant presence and leadership will surely be missed. In the words of Pericles: “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” Cheers to you, David! In addition to serving as Executive Vice President of Western Growers Assurance Trust, David Zanze is the President of Pinnacle Claims Management, Inc.
